What did you Name your Bronco Sport?

[PsychoSchizoPhreniac]

While in the Air Force as a F-15 Crew Chief I always named my Aircraft...Lunatic Fringe, Screaming Banshee, Carmen Sandiego, to name a few.
I always referred to my Car or Truck by name...Trinity, The Mistress, Jaws, Satans Chariot.
While its alway up to personnel preference. I've noticed Men usually name there vehicles after Women and Women usually name there's Men. Not always but usually.

Presently
2021 Bronco Sport OuterBanks - Wife's...just before the purchase it we had a Silence of the Lambs marathon, so she calls calls hers Hannibal.
2010 F-150 Harley Davidson Edition - Mine...Harley Quinn

No issues, the title isn’t all that easy to find. I just happen to have been here for 2 years and remember this sort of thing.

I see your Lunatic Fringe video and raise you the real Lunatic Fringe video by Red Rider from the movie Vision Quest. This scene with Matthew Modine still hypes me up

I never named any of my cars. I did own a car that was named by someone else. A '69 VW Beetle. I bought it from my college Physics professor. It was named Charlie, but I don't know if it was named by my professor, wife or one of their children, or perhaps a classmate.
That got me thinking...I had a childhood stuffed animal. It just happened to be a horse and named "Charlie." Specifcally, "Charlie Horse." Some of the older folks may remember Charlie Horse from a children's TV show. I don't remember asking for the Charlie Horse doll. I was 5 years old when I got him and experiencing severe health problems which escalated from a bad cold to an ear infection, to a kidney infection. The cure? Penicillin crushed up in grape jelly. It was decades before I could eat grape jelly without tasting the bitterness of the crushed penicillin tablets.

My Charlie Horse doll was given away about 3 years ago, when family cleared out our Dad's house.
But now, having a Bronco Sport, I wanted him back as my horse themed mascot. I was lucky enough to find a replacement on Etsy.
Who is Charlie Horse? In 1961, Shari Lewis, a ventriloquist, had a children's program. Her most popular puppets were Lamb Chops, Charlie Horse, and Hush Puppy. Many people who remember Shari Lewis' show, remember Lamb Chop, but few remember Charlie Horse. Those who do remember him, remember that he was something of a snarky character, and that's probably why I became fond of him. My other favorite characters are Charlie McCarthy, Donald Duck, Alf, and Walter: all character with either smart alecks, snarky or grumpy personalities.
These days, Charlie Horse would not be socially acceptable for entertainment...a somewhat homely character with buck teeth. Tsk, Tsk. What child would want such an ugly toy?
So, am I naming my Bronco Sport Charlie? Nope, as I explained in another thread, after my salesman became very animated, excited, and on the edge of anger in discussing clients who confused the Bronco Sport with the big Bronco. The Bronco Sport was just an illusion for those waiting for the big Bronco. This the first time I have personalized plates, aka "Vanity Plates."

P.S. Edit: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang had GEN 11 as its license plate!

After 17 years of owning a Jeep Liberty, I still call mine "the Jeep" about 1/2 the time.

While elk hunting, a Game & Fish Officerr stopped by camp and asked my friend "who owns that pretty car. a birdwatcher? Now my friend calls it the Bluebird. I just got the HRG lift put on it on Thursday, so now he says the Bluebird is flying high.
